Vaziri, Persian beef and chicken kebab from the grill at Pérsico, Madrid

What is Vaziri?

In Iran, charcoal-grilled kebab is the heart of the table, and vaziri is the way to order two at once: a beef skewer and a chicken skewer served together on the same plate. At Pérsico we serve it with roasted tomato and peppers, just as it is done in Iran.

The Persian grill

Pérsico’s kebabs are cooked on an Iranian charcoal grill. Saffron, which we bring from Khorasan, flavours the skewers and the rice. The result is juicy meat with a smoky taste and balanced spices: Persian food is not spicy.
